Their leader‚ Kim Jong-un‚ stands alone against a host of condemning accusations from Western nations and the United Nations. His government consists entirely of backwards people-pleasers who keep North Korea in the dark from ever developing into any sort of modern nation. The people are starving to death‚ arrested for
